Just wanted to post a few pictures of Tanner. He had a great field trip to the Fire Station with his preschool. Tanner really liked the fire hose! He also just finished up his soccer season. To say he finished off strong would be a stretch, but we made it! He loves his trophy.

Tanner started school in August. He is attending a Missionary Church school right by our house. Tanner goes every morning from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. I thought for sure he would not like going every day, but he is absolutely loving school. The teachers are so nice, and they really keep the kids busy. It has overall been great so far!!!! The picture of Tanner above is him on the first day of school! Tanner also started soccer this year. At the beginning of the season they had all the boys come up with a name for the team. Tanner thought of Lightning! Guess what, that is what they chose. Every day Tanner comes up to me and says really loud, "Who are we?" and I say "Lightning" and he says, "and what do we do?" and I say "strike!" Anyway, that is their little team chant, and he loves it. He is really improving. He loves his little team, and he love practices. However, he does not like the games. Every week on game day when we are on the way to the field he says, "Mom, the red guys aren't going to be there are they?" Tanner is referring to the other team. Anyway, he is still lacking that competitive drive. I tell Todd that unfortunately he gets that from me!!! Well, we are so proud of our Tanner. What a fun age! I just can't believe how big he is.

We had a great summer trip to the mainland! Here are some fun pictures with the Wallace family! The kids pretty much played in my parents backyard the entire time. I really do think that it is one of thier favorite places on earth! We also went and stayed at a beach house with my family. We had a great visit with them. Here are some pictures of the boys, and their cousins- Kate and Hudson.

We had a fun 4th of July. We went to see fireworks at the base over on the west side. The boys loved it! We also had fun with our own little fireworks in front of our house. We are so looking forward to our trip to the mainland! Yesterday when we were swimming an airplane flew over us and Garrett started yelling "Papa airplane!" He was so sad when he couldn't see it anymore. He knows that he is going to see his Grandparents soon, he just doesn't know that he is the one that's going to go on the airplane!

Having a birthday the day after Christmas can be a little overwhelming for a kid. Tanner had 2 birthday cakes, and received presents for his birthday throughout the whole month of december. Grandma Hadley and Great Grandma Wheeler threw a great b-day party with a Cars cake. Tanner thought it was so cool. When we got home we had a some friends come over for cake and ice cream. Trampy (Grandpa Wallace) took him to the motorcycle race when we were in CA so he wanted a motorcycle cake. This was my attempt.

When we were getting ready for his 2nd b-day party I asked Tanner how old he was. He looked up at me and said, "five." When I told him no-you're 4 he said, "again." I had to laugh-we were confusing the poor kid by having too many b-day parties. We love our Tanner!
